Luis Gatmaitan and Beth Parocha-Doctolero’s
Sandosenang Sapatos
|
|
Pulling it off a bookshelf, Sandosenang Sapatos
(A Dozen Pairs of Shoes) written by Luis Gatmaitan MD and
illustrated by Beth Parocha-Doctolero is hardly distinguishable from
other children’s books. Like other works in this class, the title
whets one’s curiosity and the cover art is an eye-candy.
Sandosenang Sapatos is a short story for
children and is therefore a quick read. But it is in its brevity
where its literary merit lies. Gatmaitan, using common language and
concise text, manages to convey to readers such deep emotions as
regret, hope and love.

Wanting to bake something for breakfast today but not entirely sold
